Happy Father's Day

Microwaved soap mountain.

Today, for Father's Day, Chuck was treated to a Jared sandwich special: three pieces of bread with ham, cheese, pepperoni and banana peppers.   We celebrated the rest of the day by playing computer games together, blowing up Ivory soap in the microwave, eating ice cream and watching the movie Courageous.  We're so blessed to have a great dad like Chuck. He always puts our family first and works hard for us.


Float Update

I spent quite a few hours this week putting the final touches on the screening of the rocking chair and spinning wheel.  They had someone else finish the wheel and the next day they emailed me and asked me to come and 'fix' it.  I did, and then Chuck and I went back over the weekend and cleaned them up and put on a few patches.  While we were there working the other group came in and started laying down the first of the floral sheeting.  All this time our float has just been an ugly frame. It was fun to watch the color start to go on.



Let the Summer Begin

Kaitlin finished off Driver's Ed and now just needs to do three drive-alongs and then she can take the driver's test and get her license.  We aren't sure how long it will take for her to get scheduled for her drive-alongs but we hope it will be soon.  So now that summer school is done, Kaitlin can enjoy a few days off before the next big events in her busy summer - her 16th birthday.  That's right, Kaitlin turns sweet 16 on Wednesday.  We are co-hosting a big party for her on Saturday.
